摘要:For nearly 40 years, Andrew Hynes of McGill University has contributed to our understanding of fundamental concepts in geosciences, ranging through time from the Archean to the present, and across disciplines from mineralogy and petrology, to structural geology, tectonics, geodynamics and geophysics. Andrew’s research deals with fundamental processes that pen- etrate to the core of our science. In addition to providing com- prehensive interpretations, Andrew has been careful to devise critical tests of his models, producing novel and plausible insights. He quantifies the quantifiable without embellishment, clearly states his assumptions and inferences, and provides testable models.
